The champion from Alabama moved to 40-0 with a 10th round TKO that finished a wildly entertaining and seesawing contest. The finishing blow was a decapitating uppercut that even left Wilder stunned when it was replayed after the fight. “Oh my God,” he said.

Wilder showed huge heart to recover from a punishing eighth round to hand Ortiz his first defeat in 29 fights after it looked like going the other way.

“A true champion always finds a way to come back, that’s what I did tonight. Luis Ortiz is definitely a crafty guy ... he put up a great fight. We knew we had to wear him down,” Wilder said. “I showed everyone I can take a punch.”
